From the Richmond Whig, 4/15/1865

SUFFERERS BY
THE LATE FIRE.

We have already published a list of the Real Estate owners
who were sufferers by the late conflagration. Below we give a list of the
persons who lost goods or merchandise by the same calamity. - It has been
impossible to give an absolutely accurate list, as the work had all to be done
from memory - no vestige of a sign, in most places, remaining in the houses to
designate the late occupant. Many may have been forgotten, and some, no doubt,
overlooked, though every care has been taken to secure a correct report. It was
also impracticable, for reasons at once apparent to every reader, to give the
amount of losses in each case but they must sum up many millions, the amount
destroyed ranging in each case from thousands to hundreds of thousands. Nor were
the goods alone all that was destroyed, for burglaries had become so frequent
that nearly all the merchants had their provisions for family supplies at their
store-houses, and in the general excitement and melee attending the evacuation
and conflagration, none of them were saved :

The whole square fronting on this street, between 9th
and 10th, was occupied by different public offices, among them the
Signal Corps, Field Transportation, Navy Department and Nitre and Mining Bureau.

The continuation of this street leads to “Shockoe
Slip,” in which there were a large number of offices occupied by commission
merchants and some public rooms, among which were the “Virginia Slate
Agency” and the “Tobacco Exchange.”
